<div>On 1st November, Obi Thornhill, beloved son of Corinna and Dan, suffered an unexpected and sudden brain aneurysm while on holidays in France. He was resuscitated and rushed by helicopter ambulance to hospital where they attempted to revive him. He spent two days in a coma and tragically they couldn’t bring him back. Obi passed away surrounded by his loved ones in the early hours of 3rd November. We lost a beautiful, promising, bright and shining young person. The family is in a state of shock and devastation and are dealing with all of their unbearable pain and loss in an unfamiliar place, far away from their family and friends.
</div>
<div>We are appealing to friends and acquaintances and compassionate strangers to donate what you can to make the practical side of things a little easier for Obi’s family.
</div>
<div>Donations will go towards accommodation costs for family and support people in France for as long as they need to stay and towards funeral costs in Ireland and any other associated costs.
</div>
<div>Bless you for any help you can give!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>(This fundraiser was set up by Chani Wates, personal friend of Corinna and Dan. The funds will go to Corinna and Dan, the beneficiaries, for expenses in France, funeral costs and associated costs)

Support for Obi's family

<div>Rio, whose dad and extended family are from Cork, is a happy, playful and energetic two-year-old who adores cars and spending time with his big sister Lillyrose.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In late 2022, Rio’s parents noticed he had trouble hearing and discovered he had glue ear. Thankfully, after being fitted with grommets in his ears, Rio began to hear as normal and started learning to talk.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In August 2023, Rio’s parents began to notice that he had a loss of appetite, was tiring very quickly and had pains throughout his body. Due to Rio’s delayed speech from his glue ear he was unable to communicate what he was feeling to his parents.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After these issues persisted, Rio and his parents were back and forth at their local hospital for two months due to Rio spiking a temperature constantly, walking with a limp, and going off his food and refusing to eat. After being an inpatient for 12 days at the hospital Rio's parents were told he was suffering from what appeared to be a blocked kidney. Further scans devastatingly revealed a large solid tumour located near to his right kidney and on the 25th August 2023, Rio’s family were given the devastating news that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma, a rare-childhood cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>High-risk neuroblastoma is a particularly aggressive cancer and so the treatment for neuroblastoma is equally as aggressive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rio’s diagnosis has had a huge effect on the whole family, especially big sister Lillyrose who has developed a twitch in her neck since Rio was diagnosed. Vickie and Don are supporting Lillyrose to understand what her brother is going through and what may lie ahead for the family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As of today Rio has had various surgeries and has just completed his chemotherapy. Now he is beginning his stem cell treatment. The doctors and nurses are amazed by his resilience and energy as such a young child experiencing this extremely invasive and difficult process.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rio's family are fundraising to continue his life-saving treatment, hoping to give Rio a fighting chance to make it to his next birthday, or see his first football game, to grow old, have his first relationship and his first job.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After Rio's stem cell transplant and radiotherapy he will complete his frontline treatment with six months of immunotherapy. The medical team have informed the family that Rio will need to undergo further life saving specialist treatment in the United States for which we as part of Rio's family and friends hope to help raise funds for.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help support Rio through this journey. We are forever grateful to those of you who might be able to donate any amount to his cause.
</div>

<div>The loss of anyone close to you is the hardest thing in the world , but the death of a parent at a young age feels like everything around them has come to an end, especially when it's a MOTHER.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mothers are the women around you who guide you – the ones who encourage your dreams, help you pick up the pieces when you falter on your way to those dreams, and believe in you even in the moments when you don’t anymore. They are the women who inspire you, who represent all you hope to someday become a fraction of. They are the ones we go to from "a scraped knee to a broken heart ". They would even give their life to save yours not thinking twice. Joanna you are a superwoman for saving your son in his time of need and he will never forget your heroism that has given him the opportunity to make you a very proud mommy. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There is nothing more precious then a mother's love and unfortunately 2 beautiful children will not get to experience the full loving potential that Joanna wanted to, but won't have the chance to provide.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Alot of people have asked "how can we help" this would be a way you can show your support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of everyone's hearts we truly are devastated in this tragedy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Joanna may you rest in God loving arms while you watch over your family from heaven and we will watch over them from here.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We love you and miss you
</div>

The family of Joanna Wisniowska
